The Cogwheel Trust provides a wide-ranging and professional counselling service to the whole community throughout Cambridgeshire to enable people to cope better with their problems and to manage their lives more effectively. It provides individual counselling to children, young people and adults and family, couple and group therapy where appropriate. The Cogwheel Trust aims to provide these services to people who have limited financial resources who would otherwise struggle to get help.

Private counselling can cost between £40 and £100 therefore making it difficult for people on low incomes to access counselling. Cogwheel provides counselling for people with emotional or psychological difficulties who have limited financial resources.

People that receive counselling support from Cogwheel improve their emotional and psychological well-being. Their confidence levels are increased so they are better able to manage daily life and participate more fully in society. Relationships with family, friends, work colleagues and neighbours are improved.
